A Couple Of Harmonica Blues Riffs

[reave911]

wow that harmonica sounds really good. the tones are very sharp. I'm current;y on a key of C Hohner silver star and it sounds more classical than bluesy. think maybe it needs a good scrub?

[1latinaluv]

this bastard is making me horny

[hansrv]

when i bend i have to move from normal note to bend note or viceversa?

[cman55fender1]

[thelostworlds3]

[crackerjackoriginal]

Is going to be more difficult for me to bend notes if I use the u blocking style?

[mhhrrr]

Woah, you really surprised me. In a good way, of course.

[TheFreckledGuitarGuy]

I have that harmonica. But i suck. So whatever. Thanks for the lick.

[owhite96]

[gibshredcamel]

[99buffalosoldiers]

Way better than Justin Beiber thats for sure haha. thaks for the help man. Peace



[anton2sager]

oh my god you are annoying!

[mrstoat]

Any chance of concentrating on the harmonica lessons rather than the hats and glasses schtick, please? I'm finding the actual harmonica tips really useful and very easy to follow, but the whole "personality" thing is doing my head in.

And maybe get some kind of idea of what you're going to do before you set the camera rolling?

Thanks for the tips anyway. Very useful.

Brian

[XxSockyxXxVikingxX]

@mrstoat the personality is what makes the videos unique and a lot better than the "first you do this, then this.." videos which just drone on. keep the entertaining videos, along with the, as mrstoat said, useful tips, coming!

[killermodrul]

idiotic

[marmadelsilencio]

Thanks man , you are a badass harmonica player ..

[fabukano]

thanks i try whit my harp..gracias from chile

[RJiminez51]

wow you have a great voice. have you thought of doing drugs becoming an alcohalic, ending up homeless, and end up doing voice overs for geico.

[nazi8per]

Can you just make a 10 minute video of you doing harmonica improv? :)

[Shaqtuz]

Omg Seth Rogen voice

[6mattC4L]

im kinda curious why u always gotta wear the hat

[6mattC4L]

i m kinda curious why u always gotta wear the hat

[Snowbombz]

does it depend on what harmonica you have if you want to draw? and is drawing like breathing in?

[turncoatslethbridge]

Killer mang! Although it seems like you're SHOUTING. Good video though and I love the idea of saying, "34" as opposed to "3" and "4". Makes sense to me.

[FaithfulLemmons]

you're a joker and i dunno what you're on but you can play like hell :P

[Cu1t06]

thats awesome! thanks man!

[SEBB3RS]

You've got mad skills but slow the fuck down for us meer mortals. Love xxx

[Jazsngr]

I'm totally new to this. What's a "draw" and a "blow".?.....I know what a bend is.

Is a draw an inhale of the note and a blow an exhale of the note? or notes?

[sweettouth20]

u're so cute



[Qwaybabii]

you kno what i like your vids im subscribing lol but i hope your bending vid helps me

[TomBombadil7]

You look like you're gonna kill someone when you move your hand on and off the harp.

[Goatboy44spl]

You remind me of this Christian kid that I used to play in a band with as a teenager. Its weird you look and talk just like him.....anyway fun videos!  ;)

[guitarismysword1]

im thinking of buying harmonica. is it loud enough to cause headache?

[SgtZippzapp]

i thought i could go naked today as well, it was cold

[grazyfreerider]

you are so cool realy! whaaaaaa OWSOME! .... wtf XD dude....?

[alterbreezer]

omg, you are soooooooooo good at explaining stuff, and you play like the best ever blues. xxxxxxxxxxx

[sopranosintro]

how can i do if i want to play this riff with a chromatic harmonica?

[cizu1979]

Good, thanks

Keep on posting videos! :-)

[MrSigge1]

This reminds me of Funkytown...

Great video btw :D

5 stars for the little gay pirate hat!

[TheMahagoni]

my mannnnnnnnnnn teach me

please Yo

I DIG this blues harp stuff like a bitch on a heat

[nobsenica]

First I was like this kids gonna be a scrub....

Then I was like ohh shit....(jaw dropped)

[MrMernico]

Ignore the haters. i am gonna buy myself a harmonica this week <3

[guitarismysword1]

@MrMernico me too but you must be professional by now

[thirdmembr]

holy fuck thats fucking amazing

[bisonho157]

you sux, but tanks for the riff

[tictoctictoc07]

how old are you cause i honestly cant tell?

[CALIfoLYFE]

bro this is the first vid of yours i checked out and you're solid.

so i play the violin but im tryna get into a more portable instrument.

and i really like the blues. does a C harmonica work for playing those

soulful wailing blues?

[redrockwest1955]

Thanks for all the help, you really are a great instructor.

[StargateAdventures]

I have a Hohner Golden Melody which harmonica do you recommend for blues

[Shamp0ooo]

Thanks for this great instruction. I stared playing blues harp only 2 days ago. Yesterday i tried to play this riff and failed at the very beginning. Today i'm almost able to do this. For me the tricky part ain't the second one but the first one though. I can bend passably but it's hard for me to switch from the 3-4 chord to a single note. Well i guess it's just a matter of practise, so maybe i'm able to play it in a few days.

Pls keep on with your videos.

[beachbreakdave1]

Nick, I really enjoy your lessons on various riffs but as a suggestion; it might be helpful to play the riff a few more times, maybe slowly at first and then speed it up. The problem is that I can play the riff, but it doesn't sound too much like yours, so if I could hear yours several times, maybe I could imitate better. Keep up the good work.

[ukkie7]

When weed, ADD, brain farts and epic music skill collide....you end up with this guy right myah!...seriously man, keep doin' what cha do!...you're frikkin hilarious!

[AbovePerfect]

I dont know why but you reminded me of John Travolta.

[laoudicea]

rif you could make tutorials for beginners up to play like you? hope repond to my pleas greetings from mexico city

[dgargett95]

Awesome thanks!!!!!! :)

[nerdalert12345]

now you say it, you could be a really good radio dj or something...great vid though

[kristhedrumer]

ur awesome, seth rogen, awesome put ur top hat on!

[ederzzzzzzzz]

you make me laugh dude.

[cskatz01]

its a simple couple riffs, but how do you breathe after it ends with a draw and goes back into to two draws!! I'm feeling dizzy from lack of oxygien right now

[xp0ferens]

man i shouldn't have bought a harmonica in a.. all these lessons are in c =/

[grassmonkeybutt]

[pexors]

[jontrier]

[foundit7]

Nice job teaching this riff. Once learned, it sounds pretty impressive. I found your clip helpful, and good job showing the page with the tabs. Keep it up!

[JohnL9013]

Hohner ProHarp? Sounds like it by the response. I have one in D.

[Intamisy]

I just started today on the harmonica and my Dad gave me his 12 year old Hohner "C" Harmonica and 'm already learning a lot from you. A lot of appreciation from me.

[imade1231]

amazin dude me and my friend learned from you

[ElmoElmondo]

Oh I got it ;]

Thought they were two different riffs instead of two parts to one riff

[PlayHarmonicaEasily]

Glad to hear that, sorry for the miscommunication.

[ElmoElmondo]

No it was my fault mate, dont worry

[ElmoElmondo]

I cant make it sound like yours at all.. Wtf am I doing wrong? lol

[maiden615]

beginning is hilarious btw

[maiden615]

best harp teacher on youtube

[feiz01]

cool little brother,,,cool,keep posting character :)

[nerdfiles]

Ahhh! You, sir, have opened an infinite door for me! All this time! Just that riff! I've flirted with it, paraded around it with uncertainty and loss! And now I have it -- thirty-four thirty-four! I am so dense! But now, I am in your debt!

[PlayHarmonicaEasily]

haha anytime brother.

you guys are the reason i do these things.

Keep it rollin'

-Nick

[mau2494]

hey man, i love your videos and i was wondering if you can put more videos of some blues riffs , or something related with blues, cause i like the way you play them and i want to learn more riffs

thanks man i love your videos :)

[Nevermind30]

sounds like seth rogen :P thanks!

[Serouns]

Bro your a funny bastard and a great instuctor

[rob522]

AWESOME

[zabby1952]

can you get the riff for a heart of gold by neil young. i have learned more from you then any one else. keep up with it .

[ACDCfanatic234]

I gotta admit man, that was a fuckin' great harp riff. And I mean Fuckin' great with a capitol F. Now for God's sake, don't take down any of these videos, because it's the middle of the night and I can't play my harp now. I've been wanting to learn these blues riffs on harp forever man. And next time, ditch the pirate hat and maybe stick a big fat joint behind your ear. But seriously, leave these videos up man!

[PlayHarmonicaEasily]

Pfhahaha.

thanks brother.

[miloesskater]

Sounds good, if you want to trade licks, message me.... I got one you could try out and then post................

[(4d)=4draw---(4b)=4blow---(4d­')=4draw bend]

4b', release to 4d, 5d, 4d', 4b, 3d', 2d. glissando to 6b, 5d, 4d, 4b, 3d', 2d

try this out and message me.

[pizzawitjo]

k, thanks

[JakiRuuska]

[PlayHarmonicaEasily]

the 4 draw on the second part. i put two 4 draws for the poeple who dont know how to bend.

but if you know how to bend, thers only one 4 draw on the second part.

[pizzawitjo]

Wait, which notes do you bend on?

[utubeghandiman]

I send people all the time to you
